OLIVIER AWARD-WINNING COMEDY HAS MONTREAL PREMIERE

Theatre 317

Presents

The Memory of Water

Written by Shelagh Stephenson

Directed by Corey Castle

Produced by Munirah Amra

Tuesday, April 8 - Saturday, April 12, 2014

The funniest drama you’ll ever see…

Montreal, March 2014 – Theater 317 proudly presents the Montreal premiere of The Memory of Water by Shelagh Stephenson, directed by Corey Castle, from April 8th - 12th at Theatre La Chapelle.

In The Memory of Water, three sisters, each haunted by their own demons, gather in a highly charged atmosphere on the eve of their mother's funeral. With a storm raging outside, they laugh, cry, rage and bicker as the conflicts of the past and their hold on the present are mercilessly exposed.

Complicating their interactions is the fragile nature of memory; no two sisters remember their childhood experiences in the same way. Yet, they are sisters and must find a way to come together. Unable to connect with each other, they find dangerous, desperate, poignant and wildly funny ways to break through.

Theatre 317 artistic director, Munirah Amra, chose this play because for her, it is about the two most important things in life, memory and love, “The Memory of Water is life affirming and bittersweet, cheeky and profound, gentle and cruel. It offers us an evening of laughter and the opportunity to celebrate what makes us human.”

This searing comedy exposes the patterns and strains of family life in a way that will be familiar to all. Winner of the British Laurence Olivier Award in 2000 for Best Comedy, The Memory of Water promises to be one of those great elucidating nights at the theatre, holding a mirror up to anyone with a sibling.

The Memory of Water, first presented in London in 1998, received unqualified rave reviews and moved from its off-West End theatre to the West End for an extended run. The London Sunday Times said, “Shelagh Stephenson’s writing is barbed, lyrical, witty & full of a rare emotional intelligence”; the Independent called it, “Wickedly funny and moving.”
